The man is lying on the couch (position on his side), his legs are bent at the knees and pressed against the chest. The specialist slowly and carefully inserts a finger into the anal canal, pressing on the isthmus of the organ. Thanks to this manipulation, prostatic fluid is released. Analysis of the juice of the prostate, studied in the laboratory. For this, the material is placed in a special container and sent to the laboratory. The juice of the male prostate is examined under a microscope.

Ph - 7, this is the norm. In the inflammatory process, the presence of an acidic environment is noted, if an alkaline environment prevails, this indicates a chronic process.

There should not be amyloid bodies - this is the norm, if any, prostate adenoma is diagnosed. Epithelial cells should not be more than 3. The norm is the absence of pathogenic flora and erythrocytes, if any, experts may suspect an inflammatory or oncological process.

The norm of density is 1022, the color of the prostatic fluid is whitish, any change in shade indicates a pathological phenomenon. Leukocytes - 10, this is the norm, an increased number warns of inflammation or the penetration of bacteria.

When the delivery of prostatic juice and the seeding tank is assigned

Seeding of the secret is prescribed after examination by a urologist and rectal examination of the glandular organ.

Timely diagnosis of the state of health of the male gland will allow avoiding serious consequences, and sometimes the occurrence of a fatal oncological process. Based on the collected anamnesis, the doctor selects an effective therapeutic therapy to quickly eliminate pathological processes.
